its still slow over trees...

The trees themselves aren't so much the problem, or buildings... it is the shadows which appear to be causing the hit.
Sadly, cockpit and ground shadows are linked.

I turned off shadows...

I keep shadows on to have them in cockpit, but reduce landscape shading by 1 or 2 levels and texture quality by 1 level.

Low landscape shading gives big increase in fps and smoothness with shadows on. Forest, grass, roads do not hit performance with these settings that much on my PC.

I guess it comes down to hardware settings per sim settings and what people define as none/ not much/ a bit or a lot, eh?

From the menu or directly in the conf.ini?

Why? Does it make any difference?

Best thing to do is to try some of the different settings (on/ off/ reduced) and find what works for you, that which gives you the result you're happiest with

Becuase had he answered conf.ini we could start a real thread going through the ntty-gridy of the conf.ini

Have you noticed that there is hardly anything on conf.ini manipulation after all these months? Except for the thread adding humans on the ground, I do not remember reading anything...

Haven't seen any either. Except someone mentioned VisibilityDistance or something. Tried it but didn't make any difference.

Wish someone without wife and kids could make a short manual on every row in the ini-files.
That would be sweet. U married Grathos?
